I like my buns hot and sticky!
Cinnabon is a famous bakery franchise that has a special place in my heart. They're known for their classic cinnamon rolls.
These rolls are nostalgic and remind me so much of my childhood. When I was a little gal, my parents would always get me one whenever we were on a road trip. They would pull over at a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike, run into a Cinnabon store, and come back to our car with a fresh, hot bun for me.
I haven't had one in FOREVERRRR, so I decided to treat myself. This location operates as a kiosk and shares a space with Auntie Anne's. It's on the first floor of Garden State Plaza mall near Nordstrom. There's a few tables nearby to enjoy your treats. Because it's in a high-traffic mall, it gets busy. But the staff is friendly and works as quickly as possible.
The award winning menu item is the giant CLASSIC CINNAMON ROLL, but they have smaller versions like the mini rolls and mini bites, as well as seasonal flavors. They also have cookies, churros, mini cinnamon donut bites, coffee, and specialty drinks.
I ordered the classic roll ($7) and it was so satisfying and comforting! Decades later and it's still as good as I remember it! The dough was warm, fresh, fluffy, and soft with caramelized layers. It had the perfect amounts of brown sugar, fragrant cinnamon, and decadent cream cheese frosting - not too much & not too little. The center of the roll is the BEST PART - ooey, gooey, sticky, and dripping with sweet goodness.
